"Know that your friends outnumber the haters by the millions, and I am one of those friends," wrote Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a card for Degas Sikorski. The belated valentine, signed by many members of Parliament, was given to Sikorski by his local Member of Parliament Randy Boissonnault at a brunch meeting.

Sikorski went into work at a Party City store on Valentine's Day after more than a month without shifts. When he got there, a supervisor had made gifts for all the staff — but his contained a shocking slur.

"FA**** YOU ARE NOT GETTING SHIFTS FOR A REASON," was written in black marker across Sikorski's valentine. Sikorski has been openly gay for several years.

"I am beyond livid," wrote his mother Shelley Bramhoff Sikorski on Facebook, who called on her network to spread the word about the incident. Degas no longer works for Party City.
